Since the GUS PnP seems to be the "standard" FreeBSD card, if I bought another card, it would be a GUS just for the driver support and the user community. But anyway, what I'm verbosely leading up to is, that I think the focus should change to PCI. Ensoniq has the new AudioPCI card out, which I believe is affordable, and Amancio Hasty mentioned the possibility of a combined Bt848-based video + audio card coming out. Both of these would be of more interest to me than another ISA card, no matter how good the sound quality of the ISA is. And, in any case, I'm happy about the increase in audio/video activity recently, and would like to thank those contributing to it. I hope some of the benefits can trickle down to the upcoming 2.2.5 release. -Hugh LaMaster Hugh LaMaster, M/S 258-5, ASCII Email: hlamaster@mail.arc.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center Or: lamaster@nas.nasa.gov Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 No Junkmail: USC 18 section 2701 Phone: 415/604-1056 Disclaimer: Unofficial, personal *opinion*.
